An International British Literary Agency

Established in 2008 by Isabel Atherton, Creative Authors Limited is a British agency based in New York City. The agency represents titles with strong commercial potential in fashion, biography (especially music), autobiography, crafts, health, cookery and children's picture books. Other areas of interest include history, natural history, popular culture, true crime and select fiction. We are also looking for talented, enthusiastic and adaptable illustrators.

About Isabel

Isabel Atherton is an experienced literary agent with an eye for commercial potential, representing prize-winning authors and illustrators from around the world. Isabel holds a BA (Hons) in English Literature and an MA in Contemporary Approaches to English Studies. Both were studied at Goldsmiths College, University of London.

All authors are individually handled by Isabel Atherton and Creative Authors prides itself on a personal and highly efficient service. Creative Authors aims to take first time writers and established authors to a new level of recognition. With all our authors we aim to establish a life-time relationship. However, we are highly selective and only take on new writers whose work we genuinely love.

Creative Authors is a transatlantic agency. We sell directly to the US and UK, cutting out the need for a subagent in these territories.

Testimonials

“I cannot thank Isy enough for her utter belief in my first book, ‘Behind The Gloss,’ from the moment she met me and for holding my hand on this new journey. Not only that, but before I could take a breath there was another book deal on the table. Two books publishing in the same month. Not bad for a first-time author.”
